1 cup apple cider
4 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
dash of sea salt
Instructions
Peel and chop 4 cups worth of apples
Pour the apple cider into the pot of your Instant Pot
Add apple the apples, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt, stir
Lock the lid of the Instant Pot and set the pressure valve to “sealing”
Set the Instant Pot to “Pressure Cook” high for 5 minutes
The Instant Pot will come to temperature, beep and then do a 5 minute countdown
When it beeps again the cooking process is over, you may now quick release the pressure by switching the pressure valve to “venting”*
Remove the lid and turn off the Instant Pot
Allow the apple butter to cool for about 10 minutes
Using an immersion blender* blend the apple butter until smooth or desired consistency is reached

Notes
*Be careful, the steam released comes out fast and hot. You may also wait about 20 minutes for the pressure to release naturally
*If you don’t have an immersion blender you can transfer the apple butter to a blender or food processor for this step
